Einstein's Telescope: The Hunt for Dark Matter and Dark Energy in the Universe
As a doe-eyed graduate-level physics student, I have this terrible habit of reading books like Einstein's Telescope and falling completely in love with a very specific subfield of science. Then I'm all like, "Oh dip Evalyn Gates I could totally get into gravitational lensing to map dark matter halos around galaxies!" and then the next week I'm all like, "I love inflationary cosmology and am now a disciple of the anthropic principle see you soon Alex Vilenkin!"
I hope you weren't looking for a review here. I'll say only that it was terrific despite the fact that there are 10^36 acronyms in this book... really an astronomical number.
Booo.
